Hello All,

I am running a MapReduce job using standard input and output formats and using 
an HTable as a reference data set in my Mapper code.  I am using a small 
cluster of around 10 nodes.  In my setup phase I am using an HTablePool to get 
a reference to a table.  On all but two nodes, the call to getting the table 
hangs and eventually causes the task to fail.  However, on two of the 10 
machines, it retrieves the table and its business as usual.  (I also just tried 
creating a new HTable without the pool - no dice).

It just so happens that the two machines I can successfully get the table on 
are configured in the hbase-site.xml file for the hbase.zookeeper.quorum file.  
I was told that the other machines don't need to be in this file - ZooKeeper 
will handle everything and I should be able to get a table just fine.  The 
cluster is configured so HBase is not managing ZooKeeper.

If I ssh into any of the 8 machines that don't work, I am able to use the HBase 
shell and scan through a table.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
Adam
